So Young, So Content

Having been adopted at six weeks living in the countryside with parents anew these early years pre-school were good but went past so quickly time just flew Though realising I've stammer afoot but having no company so I'd cope this suited me having me for company all of this was bringing me hope One thing I felt clearly at this time as a child I had real contentment this was so peaceful deep at heart these days would be where I start Having my own bedroom was cool sitting there loving my toys as an only child life was good there on my own cause no noise As I think back on these early days sometimes wish that peace could return but life changes moving on age to age just as our weather moves rain to sun (My favourite time in my life was probably was pre-school between one to five, this is my thoughts about that time.)
